Green Energy Times & NESEA BuildingEnergy 2010 Conference

Green Energy Times attended this event on Wednesday, March 10th, and can only wish that everyone who reads this could head on down there today and/or that you all make arrangements to attend next year. We cannot say enough good about the entire event!

Their agenda is exactly what we all need, to be able to address our future, equipped with the knowledge to accomplish the tasks ahead of us all. This event was well thought out to accomplish just this. The workshop sessions alone are just incredible. The Trade Show incorporated the latest innovations and technologies that we need to know about with the best of the best set up with their displays.

They even chose a perfect site for the event incorporating very little waste and green measures, with accommodation arrangements available at one of the greenest Hotels in the country: Seaport World Trade Center Boston, 200 Seaport Blvd., Boston, MA 02210. (Be sure to read about what NESEA did to help this Hotel move to this status at their link below.)

What is NESEA?

NESEA is the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association ( HYPERLINK “http://www.NESEA.org” www.NESEA.org), a leading regional advocacy and membership organization dedicated to promoting sustainable energy practices. For more than thirty years, NESEA has supported and inspired a growing network of professionals and sustainable energy experts committed to responsible energy use. The organization communicates information about a wide array of sustainable solutions, provides detailed project case studies with proven results and compelling metrics, and offers access to cutting-edge technologies and creative approaches.

NESEA’s members hail from the 10 Northeastern states, from Maine to Washington, D.C. NESEA members are “practical idealists” – passionate about the need for healthy, efficient buildings and transportation systems powered by clean, renewable energy. NESEA members believe achieving these ends will strengthen the economy, create new jobs, and heal the environment.

Efficient use of energy requires collaboration among practitioners in diverse professions. NESEA’s members include a wide range of sustainable energy practitioners including architects, engineers, educators, builders, energy consultants, renewable energy manufacturers and installers, facilities managers, planners, and students who are committed to whole systems thinking as the central framework for addressing energy issues. Joined by consumer advocates, these practitioners have worked effectively to pioneer energy-efficient buildings and clean energy solutions, to share their knowledge and to recognize innovation.
